The mechanism for a critical but highly toxic antifungal is revealed in high resolution. Self-assembled Amphotericin B sponges (depicted in light blue) rapidly extract sterols (depicted in orange and white) from cells. This atomic level understanding yielded a novel kidney-sparing antifungal agent.
Killing fungus without toxicity
Artistic rendering of water sensor with graphene-based nanolayer and two electrodes attached at top. Alternating current voltages at varying frequencies (wavvy lines) are used to rapidly and non-destructively screen for high-quality sensor devices. (Image by Argonne National Laboratory.)
Major step toward large-scale manufacturing of uniform and reliable smart sensors for real-time water monitoring
Breakthrough in Catalysis Research Could Lead to Massive Energy Savings
Researchers at UW–Madison have engineered silicone nanoparticles to cross the blood-brain barrier in mice to deliver brain-wide gene editing therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. PHOTO: JEFF MILLER
Nanoparticles can cross the blood-brain barrier with a range of biological medications and treatments to deliver brain-wide therapy
Tough-to-treat brain tumors may have a new injectable gel treatment
An MIT team has designed an “acoustic fabric,” woven with a fiber that is designed from a “piezoelectric” material that produces an electrical signal when bent or mechanically deformed, providing a means for the fabric to convert sound vibrations into electrical signals. Image: Greg Hren
